16-Year-Old Iranian Girl Hanged For Being A Rape Victim

A young girl who was accused of "moral corruption" (premarital sex) as a result of being raped was executed by hanging in Iran on Sunday the 16th.

When the girl told the judge that he should "punish the perpetrators of moral corruption, not the victims", the judge used his power to push (beyond normal procedures) for the 16-year-old's execution.

When asked, judge Haji Rezaii, a fundamentalist Muslim, said that he executed the girl for her "sharp tongue".
